A company named Electrolux has come up with a concept scanner that is supposed to hook up to your toaster via USB. You pop in a design, scan it and then “print out” toast with your design on it, without the need for a breadboard. Before you totally dismiss the idea, realize that you would have the ability to print out a loaf of Mother Teresa toast that would sell for plenty on eBay. If you’re not a scam artist, you could just scan your dick and give your girl dick toast for breakfast. Problems of the world: Solved.

If you haven’t noticed, we’re crazy about toasters. Winner of the Macef/Designboom Ceramics for Breakfast Competition 2007, George Watson has crafted a ceramic toaster dubbed “Glide” using slip molded porcelain. Claiming that there has been “little development of the toaster,” has been Watson’s main drive in crafting this atypical toaster. Just shovel the toast into the feeder to have it toasted, soon to be resting on that rib-cage looking area; a pit stop before it hits your plate.

This is a toaster that brings life and joy to a stagnant domestic appliance, an iconic object for the home.

Hey man, I love toasters just as much as you do. One question, how fast does this toaster toast? I’m impatient.

Sun bathers who love to fry their own bodies have it pretty tough. When they go to the beach to toast themselves to a charred brownness, they have to deal with the screaming of children and getting kicked in the face with sand by other beach goers. The Sun Pod creates the sun bather’s own little space to seperate from the chaotic beach world.

The Sun Pod is one of those concepts that just never made it to the mainstream. Maybe it’s a little too conspicuous? Maybe a tad. Or maybe the feel of hot glass pressing against your side isn’t the most pleasurable experience. — Andrew Dobrow

Thank goodness there are still some heroes out there trying to advance the technology of toasters. Toaster technology had come to a screeching halt before this Pop Art Toaster was released. That is if you don’t include the skull toaster. The Pop Art Toaster cheerfully brands logos of pop culture onto your toasted meal.

You can’t lose buying a toaster as a gift. Especially for your wife. She’ll love it and joyfully make you toast for the rest of your days. There are a variety of logo plates available. At least one of them is bound to be admired. A toaster with 6 plates will run you around $35. Not too shabby, but perhaps a little toasty. — Andrew Dobrow

We wonder if it was something like this that helped aid those eBay sellers in creating Jesus faced toast. The Skull and Crossbone Toaster brings you the best in pirate themed bread products. Branding a toasty skull symbol on the side of your breakfast.

Isn’t a skull and crossbone the international sign for poison? Is that really something we want to etch onto our food? Despite the fear for our lives, the recent pirate enthusiasts are sure to have a ball. Even though the quote on the side of the toaster, “Sweet toast of mine”, leads us to believe there is a hidden Guns N Roses theme. So we guess the real question is, do LA metal heads enjoy a hearty breakfast? For 32.95EUR, you sure can. — Andrew Dobrow
